I think his point is that anything that is less economical is by definition bad for the world, which doesn't conflict with denying that "anything that causes an increase in GDP is always good for the world."
But don't listen to me. I've never dabbled in 'supercomputing.'

Well, I still dispute the claim. Let's take an extreme extension of global warming (again, I am not advocating any regulation)...
Say a ginat meteor is heading for earth and is going to wipe out the planet. Is it bad for the world if resources were utilized to develop a solution to knock the meteor off path--even if it hurt the world's economy a bit?
